ASU has to run the ball well to win this game, ASU's chances look allot better with STanback out for Washington. Even though Wash almost beat CAL w/o him.

ASU 23
Uw 17

This is going to be a very tough game but I think ASU will be able to pull it out. They've looked better the last 2 weeks, Carpenter is slowly going back to what he was before and the running game has been great. Good, the game is on TV this week. :)

ASU has a decent chance but they can't fall way behind like they did at USC. We need a good road win in the worst way.

It shouldn't have been this close. While Washington is a pretty good team and it was their homecoming, ASU had this game in the bag but they almost, uh..."pulled a Cardinals" or however you would say that. Nice to win the game, it was really needed...

Seattle has always been pretty ugly to ASU. Any win up there is a good win. And, I actually think the way ASU won will actually be good for their confidence the rest of the season.

Train and Herring looked damn good last night. Hopefully Dirk will realize that running is the strength of the team, and use it to set up the pass with play action.

Oh, I think it's pretty obvious that they have a "run first" mentality now. Koetter even said so after the Stanford game.

ASU has produced some great running backs over the years. Nothing is more demoralizing to an opponent than a good running game.

The Devils running game was the key to Jake's success in 96. He rarely threw for 200 yards.

I love our running game this year but Dirk needs to stop running on every single first down and 3rd and short. Everyone knows it's going to happen and Washington was doing a good job stopping it in the 2nd half. The team should be running most of the plays but shouldn't make it so obvious like yesterday.

Dance with the girl that brought you. We have some talented TBs....glad to see Koetter is acknowledging this and not sticking to his Gun Slinging passing game.

Run it down their throats until they stop it. It was still eating up the clock.
